Ronda Rousey will return to UFC in December

Ronda Rousey will make her return to the octagon on December 30
at UFC 207 in Las Vegas, UFC boss Dana White officially announced
on Colin Cowherd's FS1 show Wednesday. Rousey will fight
135-pound titleholder Amanda Nunez.

"The thing that everybody has been waiting for for a good year,
Ronda Rousey is back," White
said. "She will fight Dec. 30 for the title."

Rousey has not competed since her stunning upset loss to Holly
Holm in December. Rousey said that she felt suicidal
after losing.

Despite her long absence, Rousey is still one of the top-ranked
bantamweights in UFC. Nunez, meanwhile, is currently the
titleholder after dominating Miesha Tate at UFC 200 in
July.

"The thing is Ronda Rousey has been the biggest, baddest female
fighter on the planet now since we got into women’s fighting,"
White
said. "Ronda had a bad loss, obviously, and lost her title,
but she’s still Ronda Rousey at the end of the day. When you talk
about bad matchups for Ronda, it’s just about Ronda coming back.
Everybody wins or loses. It happens."
